Chapter 96 - I am not the South Bridge

The two women looked at each other, and a strange smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

Huo Ting drove back to his house. The mere thought of a woman's face gave him a headache. Huo Ting didn't get off the car immediately. It wasn't until his servant opened the door that he saw Huo Ting's car and knocked on the door.

Opening his eyes, Huo Ting opened the car door and stepped off the ground. He walked a few steps into the Huo Mansion and looked around. He didn't see Gu Qiao Qiao. "Where's Gu Qiuqiao?"

"Madam, today, she …"

He raised his hand to let the servant back down, tore off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. Huo Ting nestled into the sofa with his hands on both sides of the armrest.

After about half an hour, there was a click at the door. Someone gently pushed it, and Gu Qiao happened to poke half her head in to take a look. Just as her gaze made contact with Huo Ting, her heart skipped a beat.

Why did Huo Ting come back so quickly today!

Beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead. She bent down and propped her arms on the wall. Then she picked up the red high heels she changed out of, and quietly walked towards the room.

One step, two steps … When he was just a few steps away from the stairs, the man's gloomy voice suddenly came from behind. Gu Qiao was so scared that she almost kneeled on the ground: "Where did you go?"

She turned her head and realized that Huo Ting had appeared behind her at an unknown time. His speed of appearing and disappearing was surprising. She put on a gentle smile. "There's no more salad dressing at home. I'm going to the supermarket."

Huo Ting nodded, then glanced at Gu Qiao's empty hands. "Where are the items that you've bought?"

"I didn't manage to buy anything else. The brand I like is sold out. I don't want to buy anything else either, so I might as well not buy anything else." Gu Qiao had a coquettish smile on her face as she turned her head. The smile on her face was gone, replaced with a cold expression.

Gu Qiao didn't want to waste time with Huo Ting, so she turned around and was about to leave when a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She saw how painful Huo Ting's expression was.

His handsome brow creased tightly. A struggle appeared in Huo Ting's eyes as he said in a low and hoarse voice, "Am I not good enough for you? Why do you still want to choose him?"

A cold light flashed in Huo Ting's eyes as he forcefully pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, "Why don't you like me? The only thing that Yu Cen Ran brings you is pain. He will only make you suffer."

She raised her arms and wrapped them around Huo Ting's back. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Huo Ting say, "You and Yu Cen definitely won't have any happiness. You don't know … When you find out, you'll be in great pain. South Bridge …"

Huo Ting's words were like a bomb that exploded next to Gu Qishao's ear. "South Bridge, you have no idea. Sooner or later, you will have a worse time of suffering … South Bridge …"

He said the South Bridge

The South Bridge again!

Gu Ruoyun's delicate hands were clenched slowly behind her back, and her close-fitting shirt was covered with wrinkles. Hatred flashed across her eyes, along with a trace of unknown emotion. She gritted her teeth and abruptly pushed Huo Ting away.

Huo Ting was caught off guard. He was pushed back several steps, but he still had a stupefied expression on his face. It was obvious that he hadn't reacted yet.

Gu Qiao's eyes were filled with unconcealable hatred as she stared at Huo Ting. He could never forget the South Bridge, and he could also be as gentle as water for the South Bridge.

Pointing at his nose, Gu Qiao loudly said: "Huo Ting, watch carefully, I'm not South Bridge, I'm Gu Qiao Qiao!"

How could he not have such a face? With a sorrowful expression, Huo Ting stepped forward and grabbed Gu Qiao's hand. "What should I do? South Bridge, what should I do with you?"

"Huo Ting, I'm not South Bridge!" Gu Qiao flung Huo Ting's hand away. She didn't want to stay any longer and quickly rushed upstairs.

At this moment, Huo Ting was feeling conflicted. He squatted on the ground and inserted his hands into his thick hair. Two different voices kept echoing in his head.

A voice said, "Tell South Bridge. Tell South Bridge the truth so you can be together."

Another voice was shouting, "Don't do this, the South Bridge will be in great pain. Do you have the heart to see your beloved woman in pain?"

Two voices kept echoing in his mind, arguing and arguing. Huo Ting held his head tightly, feeling as if his head was about to split open from the pain.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man's crazed howls echoed in the hall. Huo Ting was on the verge of going crazy.

Huo Ting had grown up in a wealthy family and was used to seeing all kinds of people. He knew from a young age that he was destined not to be an ordinary person.

At the age of sixteen, he was betrayed by his most trusted brother. Huo Ting started to doubt life. Later on, he realized that there was always a way to deceive others. It was just that he had a higher starting point and had experienced it earlier than others.

Huo Ting knew that he was destined to be someone who would do anything he wanted. It wasn't that he had chosen to be such a person, it was his life and his environment that forced him to do so.

However, Huo Ting had chosen to be gentle like jade because he had met the South Bridge, the woman who had given him warmth abroad, the South Bridge who would stay by his side all night to take care of him when he was sick.

Alone in a foreign land, on a cold, rainy night, and with his body burning at 39 degrees, Huo Ting would always suddenly think of that beautiful face in his dreams. He would ask with concern, "Do you feel any better?"

At that time, Huo Ting had already decided to treat the South Bridge well for the rest of his life. Huo Ting couldn't bear it; how could he bear to hurt the South Bridge?

Huo Ting tightly gripped his hair with both hands. His hair was slightly aching because of the excessive force he exerted. "What should I do? South Bridge, what should I do?"

Huo Ting thought about it. He also thought about talking to the South Bridge. He then drove to the place where the South Bridge was located. Luckily, he didn't see the South Bridge. However, Huo Ting couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to say it out loud.

Huo Ting clenched his phone tightly. In fact, everything would be blown the moment the phone call went through.

However, Huo Ting was afraid. If he told her about this matter, in case it was true, then Huo Ting would understand the character of the South Bridge. As a person who cared deeply about her relationship, especially with her dependent mother, the South Bridge might collapse if he knew the truth.

In any case, Huo Ting really did like the South Bridge and hoped that she would be okay. However, Huo Ting also loved the South Bridge. If he didn't say anything, the South Bridge would never leave Yu Cen Ran.

I can't have both the fish and the bear paw. How should I choose?

The next day, after she had finished washing her face and rinsed her mouth, she went downstairs. Only after seeing that Huo Ting was not there did she completely relax.

"Good morning, Madam. Mr. Huo told you not to go out if you have nothing to do today."

Ignoring the servant's greeting, Gu Qiao walked directly to the living room's sofa and sat down. She picked up the remote control and pressed it.

The huge LCD screen flashed for a bit, then went into the wireless channel. Gu Qiao's white hands supported her cheeks, and she listlessly switched channels one by one. Suddenly, her eyes were startled by a scene that flashed past, and she quickly retreated, staring at the person inside.

At the entertainment channel, a handsome and mature man was standing in front of a television set. Beside him was another woman.

And this became the entertainment headlines -- the president of the Yu family appeared with his wife to cut the ribbon and the industrial building was converted to an office building named after his beloved wife.

The name 'South Bridge'! Gu Qiao who was holding onto the remote control suddenly tightened her grip. How could she not know that this was the equivalent of an entire office building being gifted to South Bridge?

Yu Cen Ran really loved the South Bridge. The renovated office building was located in a bustling area and had a very high commission. It should be one of the big projects of the Yu Group this year, since it was invested by Yu Cen Ran, no one would object if he transferred the ownership of the building to his wife.

With a glance, she saw that a few matters had occurred, so she impatiently switched channels. She did not expect several connected stations to be broadcasting this news. It wasn't easy to change it to the Business Channel, but it still had something to do with Yu Cen Ran and Nanqiao.

"It's that slut South Bridge again!"

She clenched her teeth, unable to vent the anger in her heart. Her fingers tightened as she used all her strength to throw the remote control at the screen.

The remote control flew to the side of the red wine cabinet, a huge impact "bang" sounded. The glass on the cabinet immediately fell like flowing water, and several bottles of red wine inside immediately fell, the grape juice color liquid slowly flowed down the corner of the cabinet, spreading all the way to the floor.

When the servant at home heard the noise, he hurriedly ran out and saw Gu Qiao holding his forehead and lying on the sofa. The servant asked with concern what had happened, which angered Gu Qiao even more, closing her eyes and making her yell: "Get out of here, all of you!"

The servant didn't dare to ask any further, apologizing a few times before leaving. Coincidentally, Gu Qiao sat on the sofa quietly for a while, then leaned forward to reach the phone on the tea table. She found a number and dialed it.

At the same time, a similar scene occurred in the Xue Clan. Xue Yuwei was wrapped in a milky white nightgown, and she had just come out from the morning bath. The droplets of water in her hair had yet to dry and flowed down her slender neck, but Xue Yuwei did not feel the slightest chill.

The power of her grip on her phone gradually increased. Xue Yuwei's heart was filled with rage. She lowered her gaze and looked at the screen. Xue Yuwei stared at the various content on the screen and had the urge to kill someone!

Early in the morning, all kinds of entertainment websites, business websites and financial news were broadcasting about Yu Cen Ran's activities. This man who had amazing financial status and authority in A city had always been pursued relentlessly by all kinds of dog journalists.

It was not surprising, but

The industrial building was originally a gift from Xue Yuwei's parents to Yu Cen Ran. Initially, he was not willing to take it for free and was not willing to accept it. However, a few years later, she spent a huge sum of money to buy it for the project.
